Japan Impact Contests!
We are still fine-tuning the details of our upcoming contests. We will announce the opening of registrations and publication of the rules on our social media.
Cosplay Contest - Solo + Group & Performance
Get ready to be dazzled by the cosplay contest performances!
Our contests reward creativity in staging: the passion of our participants for the chosen character universes must captivate our audience and jury.
In 2025, our Saturday contest will bring together Solo and Group performances by cosplayers wishing to put their craftsmanship to the test in the creation of their costumes. Our Sunday competition will focus solely on Performance, allowing the best impersonators to give free rein to their imagination!
Details about costume and accessory creation requirements and performance duration, both for registrations and the contest itself, will be available soon. Stay tuned on our social media to not miss the official announcement.

💡 Fun fact: In the Japanese zodiac, the Rat (鼠, nezumi) is the most curious and intelligent. Legend has it that its cunning allowed it to arrive first at the banquet organized by Buddha, by taking advantage of the ox’s naivety to be transported by it. Please don’t reproduce this with other contest participants!
